Chapter 252

However, Melody was not in a hurry to ask Mason. She waited until the meal was almost done before she slowly said, Mr. Taylor, I have something to ask you. I don’t know if you know about it.

Go ahead, Mason said.

Whether his own headache could be cured by Melody was actually secondary. After all, the Taylor family was also a family of doctors. They could always help him treat his minor ailment.

As for Ruby’s illness, it was only because he didn’t want the Taylor family to know that the person he loved couldn’t get pregnant, so he had no choice but to seek doctors outside.

It was a pity that she hadn’t been able to conceive all these years.

If Melody could really let them have a child, he would be extremely patient even if she asked a hundred questions, let alone one question.

Melody thought for a moment before asking, Do you know a woman named Jennie Taylor?

As soon as she asked that, Mason’s expression instantly turned grim.

Am I being rude? Melody asked as she observed Mason’s expression.

No… Mason waved his hand and said in a low voice, it’s just that the person you’re asking about is a taboo for the Taylor family, so when I heard her name, I subconsciously felt a little disgusted. But since you asked, I’ll tell you.

Ruby’s face was filled with confusion. Obviously, she had never heard of Jennie before. She could not help but ask curiously. Taboo? Hubby, who is this person? Why is it a taboo in our family?

Mason subconsciously wanted to get the wine, but when he thought of Melody’s reminder, he held back and took a sip of water. Actually, Jennie is my aunt.

Ruby was even more surprised. I’ve never heard that our father has a sister.

Mason sighed and said: Before we met, Jennie had already been chased out of the house by my grandfather. As for the reason… it was because she wanted to poison my grandfather and seize all of the Taylor family’s assets.

Melody’s expression was calm as she waited for Mason to continue.

Mason looked away. As he reminisced, he said: Jennie is extremely intelligent and proficient in medicine. However, later on, she went astray. Instead of using her medical skills to save people, she used them to harm people and become a Malicious doctor.

After my grandfather found out, he burned all the poison she had developed and warned her solemnly.

However, not only did she not mend her ways, she even poisoned my grandfather. Fortunately, she had a senior at that time called Quintin. He saved my grandfather.

After my grandfather recovered, he chased Jennie out of the house. After that, she seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. She has never appeared in front of us again, and we haven’t heard anything about her.

After Mason finished speaking, he looked at Melody curiously and asked: Miss Fox, why did you suddenly mention Jennie who has disappeared for a long time?

Melody looked deeply at Mason and said: I recently discovered a poison that only she and Quentin have. I want to know if Jennie is planning to appear again.

What? Mason’s eyes were filled with surprise. She actually had the cheek to appear?

Melody nodded and then shook her head. I can’t be sure for the time being that she was the one who used the poison. I just want to find out more about her. Since she’s your aunt, I’ll tell you if there are any new developments.

Mason hurriedly said: If it’s really as you said, please inform me immediately so that I can tell the elders in the family. She hates my grandfather to the core. The Taylor family is not as powerful as before. If she appears again, it’s very likely that she will deal with the Taylor family.

Melody nodded. I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you immediately if there’s any news. However, if you have any news about her, please inform me immediately.

Mason said, sure.

After saying that, Melody stood up and said goodbye. Mason and Ruby watched her disappear from their sight before looking away.

Miss Fox… isn’t to be trifled with, Mason said with a frown.

Ruby asked in confusion, Are you saying that her medical skills are superb?

That’s not all. Mason said thoughtfully, Jennie has committed too many misdeeds. The traces of her existence have long been erased by us. However, Miss Fox actually knows Jennie’s name. This means that Miss Fox’s identity is not simple. I have to go back and find out who she is.

Ruby was not interested in Melody’s background. She only cared about Melody’s medical skills.

In the blink of an eye, it was night. After Melody bid farewell to Mason and Ruby, she busied herself in the spare laboratory for the entire afternoon. When she snapped out of her concentration she looked at the time, she realized that it was already past six o’clock.

She wondered when the auction would begin that night.

Just as she was thinking about it, Ken called. I have to deal with the Lawrence family. James will take you to the auction house.

Melody replied, Okay!

She thought. It doesn’t matter who accompanies me, However, the Lawrence family…

She couldn’t help but ask worriedly, The Lawrence family has a lot of connections in Silverlake. Can you handle it? If you really can’t, then forget it. Anyway, nothing happened to me.

Ken’s voice was cold. The Lawrence family isn’t so capable that I can’t handle them. I just want to give them a surprise.

Melody asked: What surprise?

Ken replied: You’ll know when the time comes.

Ken kept Melody in suspense, so she did not continue asking. Since she would find out sooner or later, there was no need to be anxious.

After she got a second chance at life, the first lesson she learned was patience.

A hunter could only capture his prey if he was patient enough. Otherwise, he would only become the prey’s plaything.

However, Ken would bring down the Lawrence family for her. She seemed to feel a stir in her heart.

Ken continued, There’s also something I want in tonight’s auctions. Take the two things you want as a gift. Just bid and let James pay.

Melody paused for a while before answering, Okay!

Ken had actually considered that she did not have much cash on hand. While she was surprised, her heart warmed slightly.

After the call ended, James called. Miss Fox, are you done? I’ll wait for you on the ground floor of Icy Clear Cosmetics.

Melody said: I’ll come downstairs now.

James replied, OK!

Melody packed her things and was about to leave when she happened to meet Leo, who had come to check on her.

Mr. Sherman, Melody greeted him out of courtesy.

Leo asked with a smile, are you off work?

Melody replied, yeah!

Leo asked, how’s the work coming?

She answered vaguely, I’m still working on it.

Leo curled his lips and said, Miss Fox, you don’t have to make things so difficult for yourself. The improved version of Golden Water developed by the employees can be put into clinical trials soon. I think you might as well take a good rest these few days so that you can have the energy to fight when the day of our bet arrives.

Melody looked deeply at Leo and suddenly asked, Mr. Sherman, do you have a girlfriend?

Leo was stunned and asked suspiciously.

Miss Fox, why are you suddenly asking this?

Melody smiled and said: It’s nothing. It’s just that I happen to have an aunt who’s also single. I want to introduce her to you.

No need, Leo refused without thinking. I already have a girlfriend.

Melody asked, Really? How long have you been dating?

She was like a gossipy little girl. Leo was arrogant and did not see her as a threat at all. He answered naturally, I started dating recently. It’s been almost a month.

Melody nodded. Then I’ll wait for the company to win the bet and attend your wedding party.

Sure thing, Leo laughed and seemed to have lost the patience to chat with her. He turned and left.

Melody smiled coldly and said goodbye to Leo heading downstairs.

It was impossible for someone like Jennie to take a fancy to a middle-aged man like Leo who came from a middle-class family and had nothing special about him, unless… Leo had something that she wanted.

Melody wondered, But what does Jennie want? There are too many mysteries surrounding Jennie. Perhaps, it’s time for me to inform Quentin.
